what would you do?

Question

This is not meant to be anything political so please don't turn it into that. Several weeks ago my friend and I bought bus tickets to go to the women's march on Washington on 1/21. Were in upstate ny - the bus leaves around midnight Friday night, drives all night, march most of the day on Saturday 1/21 and leaves that evening to return probably around midnight the Saturday. I'm currently 5 weeks pregnant.. I'll be 10 weeks at the time of the march. I'm in good shape, a distance runner before i got pregnant. I've been having a lot of spotting but this happened with my first pregnancy as well and it's being monitored. Last time it stopped around 8-10 weeks. 
What would you do? Would you go on the march still? I want to decide soon because I don't want my friend to have to go alone - we bought ticket together because we wanted to have a buddy system, and I want to give her time to find someone to go with if i decide not to go...

Answer

I would go. If you're fit and a march isn't outside your scope of ability, absolutely go. I'm going to mine, I'll be 23 weeks by then, but I've got a weird Fallopian tube that causes me a lot of pain. But I've been told by my doctor that since I exercise daily, that a march isn't beyond my ability. Plus, this is history. We owe it to our children to march. Just make sure your doctor says it'll be okay. And YAY FOR YOU!!! How awesome to get to go to the one in DC!

Answer

I plan on going and Ill be @29 weeks.  That said, we will play it by ear and maybe stay for a few hours.

Have a plan b iin case you dont feel well, ultimately, it is your comfort level.

Answer

Might I just say it's AWESOME to "meet" you other women who are marching!!!

Answer

At 10w my morning sickness was horrible, even though I was reasonably fit and healthy. 
Be ready for it, but plan and hope for the best

Answer

Thank you for the support ladies ❤️

Answer

I'd totally go! I'm in Michigan and a few close friends are carpooling to go but I'll be 31 weeks pregnant by then and I don't know if I should make the trip! How awesome it is to be a part of something like that ❤️
